i didn’t have a solution specifically. i use my 128 with a Switch, toggled between the computer and the modular, so i can context switch from mlr to the euro modules (hot patched).

literally the only 256 solution that makes sense in the modular is a big vertical view of series mode in WW. everything else sortof “breaks” the design flow and would require a very substantial firmware rewrite-- given there aren’t very many 256 modular users (the power draw being yet another issue) and my attempt to spend time both on new projects and refining current ones-- i don’t forsee myself being able to rationalize a big design project for the old modules.

i do know some people that might be up for a commission, if there are several people that would want to get together and fund that.

i apologize for this reality.

From the very beginning, one of the features of White Whale I was having the hardest time wrapping my head around was the scale maps. I tried making some extra printed documents to help me figure out and remember what was what.

This sheet I made just to visually recall what scale was connected with which button on the grid. It certainly does not explain the whole process of selecting and adjusting scales, but it was something that I found somewhat useful, and so wanted to share it with you as well.

Hi everyone,

I’m new here but I’ve used monome and arc for several years and I love it… Thank you for this amazing work (hardware, software).

I’m using White Whale and I would like to make some suggestions for a next firmware update…

  • Possibility to switch between trigger and gate for each row and not only for the 4 rows together. For example, we could select “gate” for the first row and “trigger” for rows 2, 3 and 4.
  • Possibility to add a chance probability for each row. For example, we could add chance probability only for the first row.

I use this technic in my own Max patch and, in my music, it is very useful. For example, with the second suggestion, I can write a specific pattern but I can add some variations in only 1 or 2 rows. I have a better mix between random and writing…

What do you think about it ?

Best,

I agree that both would be meaningful and musically useful additions to WW.
Especially the gate/trigger switching for individual rows.

clock led is not flashing and new creatures are not active. Any ideas?

#28

looks like you might need to reinstall dfu-programmer, it’s not found?

#29

I tried to reinstall. It warned it was already installed. But I’ll try again. Weird thing is I already used this setup to install the first update. Strangeness is afoot!

#30

wonder if you need to get into root? try adding “sudo” to the front of the commands.

#31

Hmm…I couldn’t get it to work, so I ended up installing on my old processing laptop and got it running fine. Strange though, as it worked fine originally. But such is the way of the black art of tech.

Hey there, i was wondering if the WW can send both V/oct and Hz/V, i guess the answer is no but i’m going to borrow an MS-10 from a friend and wanted to see if i can hook it up to WW

#33

it’s volts/octave. you’d need a firmware mod for hz/volt.

#34

I realize that this is a few months late, but if you get a message about not being able to find the dfu-programmer binary the most likely cause on OS X is that the brew install location /usr/local/bin is not in your path. You can set this temporarily by executing export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH and then running the flash.command file.

Small query. Are the manuals for the euro modules available in pdf form? I try and avoid being online when making music!

#36

Is the manual still available? The link here is broken: http://monome.org/docs/whitewhale

following the sites page navigation http://monome.org/docs/modular/whitewhale/
